This time of year, depending on what town you're in, it's often easier to find a closed restaurant than an open one in late April. But the restaurants that are open, oftentimes offer specials that bring Eagle County residents out in droves. Like Rebecca Schroeppel, a local foodie who loves checking out what's available in the off season.

“Off season is the best time for locals to get out and enjoy the amazing dining Vail had to offer without breaking the bank,” she said. “Honestly, as a foodie, it's my favorite time of the year.”
